Saxophone Collar, inside the castle.

Rhine's sudden outburst and out-of-control griffons made everyone can't help but be in a tight position, and different soul energies gather in this narrow secret room, and the air seems to be filled with a faint smell of gunpowder, these soul energies are like explosives, and only a fuse is needed to detonate them.

"Father......" After everyone was in formation, the little fippling eagle looked at the out-of-control griffin in front of him in a daze, his eyes were full of worry, but the little hippling eagle did not impulsively move forward to stop the griffin, but remained in place.

The little Hippogriff knew that if it acted impulsively at this time, it would most likely not only fail to help the griffin, but also drag Xia Zuo and the others back because of this, causing things to worsen.

Anos stared vigilantly at the griffin and Rhine in front of him, the griffin was originally a powerful ghostly beast, and the healthy adult griffin generally had a powerful power equivalent to the "quasi-soul hunter master" of the soul descendant and above, especially the griffin in front of him was stimulated by the ammute tree fruit toxin, and the power that can burst out now has undoubtedly reached the level of being infinitely close to the true soul hunter master of the soul descendant!

Regarding the level of Soul Hunters, Soul Hunters are divided into "Ordinary Soul Hunter", "Elite Soul Hunter", "Quasi-Soul Hunter", "Soul Hunter Master" (the strength of different Soul Hunter Masters varies greatly, but each Soul Hunter Master has the strength to fight against at least one Demon Soul Hunter on its own), and the highest level of Soul Hunter with the title "Soul Hell", which is an honorary title that only the highest level Soul Hunter can get, and is also the representative of all Soul Hunters, also known as "Death", "Harvest Soul Ghosts and Prison in Purgatory." "The Grim Reaper.

A Soul Hunter of the Soul Spawn can take on a Demon Soul Hunter on his own, while a Soul Hunter below the Soul Hunter Master level cannot deal with the Demon Seed on their own, unless they are outnumbered and are not afraid of sacrifice to fight the Demon Species.

It can be seen that the power of the runaway griffin is strong now, and the current griffin is infinitely close to a real soul hunter, almost equivalent to a real demon spirit!

As for Runaway Rhine.

Rhine himself is an acquired soul descendant, and the soul bloodline level is low, but under the stimulation of the ammut tree fruit toxin, Rhine's soul bloodline should be raised to the level of jade level and above, conservatively estimated to be not weaker than the elite soul hunter, and is also a strong enemy, able to deal with any member of the Night Veil.

And the people in the Night Curtain, except for Arnos who has reached the level of a quasi-soul hunter in terms of comprehensive ability, the other members are basically just equivalent to an elite soul hunter in most cases, especially Xia Zuo, although Xia Zuo performed well, but in fact, the power of the soul is still only half an elite soul hunter.

It's going to be an uphill battle.

Fortunately, with Edith, a quasi-soul hunter master stronger than Anos, present to help, Xia Zuo's side will still have a higher chance of winning.

After a moment of silence, the griffin's painful roar suddenly stopped, and then, the griffin's wings fluttered suddenly, and it flew violently towards Xia Zuo and the others, taking the lead in attacking!

Xia Zuo and the others reacted immediately, Jasmine's ice blade flew towards the griffin for the first time, buffering the griffin's attack, and then Fred seized the opportunity, raised his right leg, swept violently, and directly kicked the griffin into the sky above the secret room!

However, the soul energy on the griffin's body slowed down the impact on the griffin's body, and the moment the griffin almost hit the ceiling of the secret room, the griffin flapped its wings, and suddenly regrouped and flew towards everyone again!

A sudden materialization of spiritual energy surged in the direction of the griffon's progress, once again relieving the impact of the griffon's flutter.

But the griffon still managed to attack in front of Natsuzo and the others.

The griffon's distance from the crowd narrowed.

However.

The griffon raised its claws, only to find that she could no longer lift them.

Griffon: "He" felt as if he was trapped by something strange that was soaking up the griffon's soul while trapping it.

The griffin involuntarily lowered its head, only to see a strange illusory aura of light appear at the griffon's feet, with faint flowing lines on the aura, making the aura look like a magic array.

Xia Zuo's extraordinary ability, Soul Trap!

At this time, Xia Zuo's eyes flashed with gold, and the soul trap that had been laid out further strengthened by Xia Zuo's will, sticking to the soul on the griffin's body, thereby weakening the griffin's strength.

At the same time, when the griffin attracted everyone's attention, Rhine, who was waiting for the opportunity, also acted at the same time, holding a soul dagger and rushing towards Xia Zuo and the others.

As if expected, Anos and Ian both moved at the same time, and their soul weapons collided with Rhine's weapons, under Rhine's crazy attack, the two successfully blocked Rhine's attack through tacit cooperation, and the cold weapons that collided together burst out with cold light, and after a burst of sword light and sword shadow, both sides retreated because of the impact caused by the attack.

But Rhine apparently retreated even more, and Rhine almost fell because of it.

The people of the Night Veil managed to block the first wave of attacks from Rhine and the griffons.

The cooperation of everyone is almost flawless.

Xia Zuo couldn't help but smile lightly.

Although I'm not familiar with everyone enough, maybe because of the better compatibility, I feel that my cooperation with everyone is really very tacit, and I don't leave a chance for Rhine to sneak attack at all.

Not even Edith had a chance to help.

Xia Zuo couldn't help but look at Edith, who was standing on the side and smiling, and Edith also smiled at Xia Zuo, saying that she didn't have to do it herself.

It seems that this farce will soon be over......

The out-of-control griffin is certainly terrifying, but the griffin has now fallen into the soul trap, and the soul trap will continue to attract the soul on the griffin's body, even if the griffin can get out of this trap, how much soul will be left?

Xia Zuo's gaze went beyond the griffin and directly at Rhine, who was also out of control.

Affected by the attack, Rhine's body had some more scars caused by the impact of soul energy, but Rhine, who had lost his sense of pain, didn't care, holding a soul dagger, as if he was preparing for the next attack.

I don't know why this guy is so out of control...... It's weird.

Obviously, the mastermind behind the scenes is only Viscount Saxophone, and Rhine is just Viscount Saxophone's instructions, although he is guilty, but the crime is not to death, so he won't just get out of control and fight with us with his life, right?

Xia Zuo put away his thoughts, this kind of thing should wait until the matter is over and have time to talk about it.

Deal with him first.

Just let this Rhine have one more soul trap...... Then, with the numerical superiority on our side, Rhine and the griffin are nothing more than fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered.

Xia Zuo stared at Rhine, his golden eyes oozing a faint light.

Where can I set up a soul trap......

The soul trap consumes too much soul energy on my body, especially just now in order to trap the griffin, I consumed a lot of soul energy to make this soul trap that can trap the griffin, and now I can only create three more soul traps at most......

Can't mess around......

Just as Xia Zuo was thinking, the griffin, which had been struggling to break free from the soul trap, suddenly burst out, broke free from the trap, and then pounced on Xia Zuo.

Xia Zuo couldn't help but be stunned, but Jasmine's ice blade flew in front of Xia Zuo in time, successfully slowing down the griffin's attack, and then Xia Zuo reacted, his eyes flashed gold, and another soul trap condensed out, trapping the crazy griffin again.

Now Xia Zuo felt that he only had the strength left to cast the soul trap one more time.

Due to the fact that the little fippant was on the side, and although the griffin destroyed the castle, it did not really hurt the innocent, Xia Zuo and the others had to continue to trap the griffin instead of directly attacking the griffin.

It's really hard......

Xia Zuo couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Hurry up and deal with this Rhine.

At the moment when the griffin was trapped again, Rhine suddenly attacked Xia Zuo and the others again.

This time, Rhine's soul dagger was shrouded in a distorted black shadow, revealing a certain power that suppressed darkness, as if it could distort and oppress all things.

Edith suddenly raised her eyebrows.

This force ...... I seem to know.

Edith's purple eyes stared at the distorted black shadow

I can't fully confirm it just now...... But now I can confirm it...... Isn't that the power of the Fallen?!

What exactly is this degenerate trying to do......

Not...... Forget it, I'm here anyway, and I'm not going to let his plan succeed...... I have to protect my fragile brother......

While Edith was pondering, Anos stepped forward again, his soul sword slashed, and once again blocked Rhine's attack.

But in the next second, the body of the soul sword suddenly trembled violently, as if it had been subjected to some huge force of distortion and oppression...... Trembling.

Anos couldn't help frowning, but then his eyebrows relaxed, Anos withdrew his soul sword, and suddenly turned and retreated, leaving his shadow behind him, Rhine suddenly lost his target, and couldn't help but be stunned, however, a figure suddenly emerged from Anos's shadow and attacked Rhine at that moment.

Ian's Shadow Jump!

With the cooperation of Anos, Ian successfully teleported to the back of Anos, holding a soul dagger and stabbing at the unprepared Rhine.

Rhine hurriedly returned to defense, but suddenly felt a pain in his head and his pupils shrank.

It turned out to be Elsa, who used psychic energy to attack Rhine.

Although Rhine lost his sense of pain due to the effects of toxin paralysis, mental pain was not paralyzed by this toxin.

Rhine didn't have time to defend, and the dagger in his hand was instantly knocked away by Ian, and then Ian kicked and flew into the corner.

At the same time, Xia Zuo's eyes lit up, and the last soul trap was formed under Xia Zuo's will, and he successfully hit Rhine, who was kicked away.

Rhine was frozen in a soul trap.

“...... Finally, he was done. Xia Zuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt that his legs were weak, and Xia Zuo had consumed too much soul energy.

At the moment when Xia Zuo's legs were weak and Xia Zuo was about to fall, Edith on the side caught Xia Zuo in time, looked at the tired Xia Zuo in front of him, and smiled lightly.

"Thank you, brother. Edith smiled slyly.

"yes, that's hard......"

If you had helped me back then, I wouldn't have worked so hard...... Seeing Edith's cunning appearance, Xia Zuo couldn't help but complain.

Xia Zuo barely stood up with Edith's support, and looked at the griffon and Rhine who had been restrained on the side.

Rhine has less toxins in his body, and if he is treated in time after being controlled, he should be able to recover a lot, but as for full recovery, it depends on luck.

But the griffons ...... Griffin "he" is really not good.

There is already little vitality left, and after this consumption, I am afraid that it really can't be saved.

“...... Griffons. Natsuzo looked at the little fippant on the side, then at the griffin, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Elsa, do you have a way to bring the griffon back to his senses, at least for a little longer, and at least let the griffin talk to 'his' child a little more......" Anos asked Elsa.

"It should be ......" Elsa nodded slightly, then stood in front of the griffin, closed her eyes, ignoring the crazy and violent spiritual energy of the griffin, Elsa released her gentle spiritual energy, and probed into the griffon's spiritual world, trying to awaken the griffin's sanity.

After a long time.

Elsa opened her eyes and nodded lightly at everyone, as well as the little Hippogriff.

"Alright. ”

"Child......" The griffin seemed to wake up from a big dream, looked at the little eagle on the side, and whispered in a daze.

“...... Father. The little Hippogriff hurried closer to the griffon.

"Let's go, let's wait outside, don't disturb the last conversation between 'their' father and son......" Anos whispered, and led the group out of the chamber, standing a little away from the griffin and the little hippogriff.

... ...

Somewhere inside the castle.

A twisted black shadow flashed in the hallway, and then suddenly appeared in another hallway.

“...... Hehe. ”

"It's a good show. ”

"Sure enough, it still didn't work...... Also, after all, it's just two out-of-control monsters, how can I break through their obstacles and let me get the result I want......"

"But...... It really made me watch a good show......"

"The Curtain of Night...... That's really good......"

"Not bad enough to make me want to destroy it...... Hehe. ”

"But there will be opportunities in the future......"

"Let's go first...... Otherwise, she might be noticed by that little girl again...... Hehe. The Twisted Shadow chuckled and walked out of the castle.

"Goodbye, Night Veil. ”
